Professional

Ok, I can do this. I'm smart. I'm pretty. I'm talented. I CAN DO THIS.
"Fourth floor, on the left…" I mumbled stepping out of the elevator. "The conference room..."
I walked around the fourth floor, until I notice a room with strange see-through walls. There was a bunch of people inside and they were sitting around a big table. There was a small sign on the door that said "Conference room."
I smiled. Excellent. Now, I must make a good impression. Unlike last time, with that lady at the front desk...
Professional, Kushina. Professional. So professional. people will think, "Goodness, it's her first day? She's a professional!"
…Um, no.
You see, Whirlpool Industries likes to mess around with newbie employees, and the walls of the conference room are see-through are see through. I thought the door was open.
Look professional, Kushina, look professional-
SMACK.
I walked right into the door, which made a pretty loud banging noise. Next thing I knew, everyone was staring at me.
I stumbled back, sorta fazed for a moment, and then opened the door(ignoring everyone's stares) and sat down. Goddammit.
After the meeting I managed to get out of the room first. Tsunade asked me to come with her.
"I want to show you your office."
"The secretary gets an office?!"
"Yes. Follow me..."
Ok, I think I sounded totally stupid right there. No Kushina, the secretary doesn't have an office. She sits on her boss's head and does her work.
SO, she took me to an office on the third floor. She opened the door, and-
"Omigod, THIS is for a secretary?!?!"
....Seriously, the room was amazing. It was pretty big, and the back wall of the office was 70% glass, meaning the wall was kinda like a huge window.
I plopped down in the spinny chair and spun a a couple times.
"I'm glad you find it to your liking." Tsunade stood on the opposite side of the dest and smiled.
I stopped spinning and looked at her. I forgot.
"Oh yeah, I was wondering, since you're retiring, who's going to be the new boss?"
Tsunade leaned against my desk. "Well, I'm not exactly sure, but until they get a permanent one, Jiriaya will be working with you-"
"No way! Jiriaya-sensei is here, too?"
Tsunade wrinkled her nose. "Yes...didn't you see him in the meeting?"
"No..."
"Hey, Kushina-chan! Long time, no see!"
I leaned to the side to catch a glimpse of the new voice in the doorway. Tsunade turned around, arms crossed around her chest.
"Jiraiya. You're late, again."
He scratched his head sheepishly and crossed the room. "Sorry about that. I was busy-"
"No excuses." Tsunade handed him a file. "Debrief Kushina in her work. That's all." and she left like that.
Jiraiya nodded, took the file, and then turned to me. "So, new here, are we Kushina?"
"Yup."
"Well, don't worry. You'll like your new boss, I'm sure."
I immediately perked up. "You know who it is?"
He grinned- evilly. "Yup. But, I'm not gonna spill the beans." He leaned in the chair across from my desk. "So tell me, have you read Icha Icha Magazine lately?"
I stared at him. "Why would I read that? It's full of romantic crap!"
He slapped a hand on his chest, feigning offence. "I'm appalled, Kushina! You should know I'm the editor of that magazine!"
"Oh. Sorry."
"Alright, alright, that's enough of that. Let's get down to business. Basically, your job is paperwork. Any and all papers go to you. Oh yes, you're in charge of things like meetings, phone calls, coffee breaks."
"Coffee breaks?"
"Yes. Your new boss is a coffee addict. I'll give you a manual that's all about it, so you'll get used to it, ok?"
"A manual?"
"Yes, a manual." He placed a file down on my desk. "Everything you need is in here. If you need help, just ask. My office is on the third floor-"
Someone knocked at my door, and then opened to reveal a blue-haired girl.
"Sorry to interrupt, Jiraiya-san."
He motioned the girl over. "It's alright, Konan, come over here." he turned to me. "Kushina, this is my secretary for the past 3 years. Konan, Kushina. Kushina, Konan. Kushina is new here."
Konan shook my hand. "I'm sure you'll like it here. Everyone gets along really well."
Jiraiya stood up. "Well, we better get going. Read through that manual, ok, Kushina?"
I nodded. They left.
I turned my attention to the file, picking up the thin manual.
